The Bell Buckle Downtown Show

From The Bell Buckle Downtown Show Website:

OVER 125 BOOTHS, JURIED AND SELECTED FOR QUALITY AND VARIETY...

October is the most beautiful time of the year in Tennessee. As the trees turn gold and red signaling the beginning of another fall, in tiny Bell Buckle a sense of expectancy fills the air as the townsfolk begin preparation for the sixty to eighty thousand visitors who travel from all over the US to take part in the Bell Buckle Arts & Crafts Festival held every third weekend in October. This event is almost four decades old and is one of the Southern Tourism Societys, top twenty events in the South.

The Bell Buckle Arts & Crafts Festival began on the campus of the Webb School as an entertainment during alumni weekend. Within a few years the show had grown beyond the campus as Bell Buckle became a destination for fine arts and crafts. In 1993, the Bell Buckle Downtown Show was founded as a juried overflow for the Webb Show and soon grew into the premier craft show of the festival. Today, the Downtown Show is one of the anchors of the Bell Buckle Arts & Crafts Festival event offering over 125 booths for arts and craft vendors to display their wares, an award winning food court and live music venue.
